Random Thoughts

Funny orange guy walking around the expo, scaring all the little kids.

I’m here in Boise now and I’ve reached total freak-out mode which is perfectly normal for me the night before a race. I’m a bit of a babbling mess, but I thought I’d gather some of the thoughts going through my mind regarding tomorrow…

Did I train enough?

No, I could use another month. Time rewind please.

Why the hell am I doing this? Why didn’t I sign up for the 10K? I like 10Ks… that’s a more doable distance.

Oh right, it’s the bling. The bling motivates me. It’s all about the bling.

If I can make it through tomorrow, I’ll train better next time. I promise!!

I hope I don’t have a panic attack.

Did I train enough? I don’t think I’ve trained enough.

I don’t think I have enough pockets for all the gel I’m going to need.

Maybe I should’ve brought my water bottle belt. I’m going to run out of water. Surely four aid stations isn’t going to be enough.

You’ll be done by the time you see this…but well wishes for a good race. Your rant totally cracked me up! I did the exact same thing on the morning I woke up for my last marathon. The punch line of this story is that it went on like this for 2 full hours before I remembered that it was my son’s 20th birthday!
